About this property
Big Orange Jr. houseboat @ Vol Landing Walk to stadium Free parking Boat 2 of 2
*** Boat cannot be moved from the slip*** Spectacular houseboat
Newly renovated!
Enjoy a stay at downtown Knoxville walkable to Neyland Stadium, Thompson Boling Arena, Civic Coliseum, and all that downtown offers! (Please note...boat cannot be moved)
Enjoy the natural scenery and the tranquility of the Tennessee River while being close to all the action! This newly renovated houseboat offers 4 staterooms with 1.5 bathrooms.
My goal is a 5 star review with this beautifully renovated 70' Sumerset houseboat! Everything was touched from ceiling to floors to offer guests an amazing experience that is better than home! The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless appliances, Keurig and drip coffee maker with special touches at every turn. The main living area (salon) has reclining leather furniture and a 55" smart TV. The master bath and guest bath have both been updated with granite countertops, new fixtures, tile floors, and plenty of amenities.
The rooftop deck has two easily accessible entrances (forward and aft) for watching all the beauty of the Tennessee River. Enjoy dinner with family and friends while taking in a panoramic view of the water. (You can't get that with a condo downtown!)
The boat is located adjacent to the other one that I have available at the gated Volunteer Landing Marina which is known for it's central location and family oriented, friendly residents.
***Swimming is not permitted from the boat or within 100 yards of the marina per TN State law.
***Please note: NO parties or large gatherings, loud/obnoxious behaviors are permitted on the vessel. Boat is to remain docked and cannot be moved by guests.
The marina is within walking distance to Neyland Stadium, Thompson Boling arena, Lindsey Nelson Stadium, Civic Coliseum, 2 adjacent restaurants, and the University of Tennessee. Pontoon rentals are available at the marina.
The extensive Knoxville greenway is adjacent to the marina and is an excellent location for walking, running, and dog walks.
***Pets are permitted with pre-approval only. They must be flea/tick free, not permitted on the furniture or bedding, completely house trained, and not left alone on the boat unless crated and nonbarking. The pet fee is $150 per pet, per stay, maximum two pets, depending on size.
The accommodation may not be suitable to young children and parents are strongly encouraged to ensure they are closely monitored.
3 night minimums required for
• UT football games
• UT graduation
• Big Ears Festival
2 parking passes available
